Interserver provides

shared, vps and dedicated hosting powered by Zend

Zend is a PHP framework that is made to be simple to use (once you get the hang of it), yet still powerful
enough to be helpful on just about any project. It is one of the more popular and better known
frameworks for PHP, and is used on millions of different projects. It can help developers build modern
Web 2.0 properties that are secure, reliable, and easy to use for visitors. In fact, Zend states that they
have been installed over 95 million times, though this would include updates and things like that.

The framework itself is very reliable and largely built with corporate or commercial users in mind. To
help make this a great solution for those who need top of the line frameworks, they have done a great
job at securing the code and testing it in a wide range of environments to help ensure it will work
perfectly on any project.

Zend Pros

Standards

Zend uses industry standards to help ensure projects using it will work on all
browsers and other devices.

Tested

Perhaps more than any other framework out there, Zend has been tested (both by its
developers and by actual users) to ensure it will be stable and safe to use.

Secure

The security built in with this framework can do a lot to ensure all projects are
protected, and that users of those projects are not at risk.

Zend Cons

Cost

This is one of the frameworks that is not free to use. You can try it for a time without
charge, but if you want to keep using it, you’ll have to select one of the different premium
packages.

Complex

If this is your first framework, it will take quite a bit to learn how to use it properly.
The developers of Zend assume people using it will have a significant amount of experience.

Zend Review

Initial Install

You can download this framework and begin using it right away for development. If you are running a
system built with Zend on any webserver, you’ll need to make sure the Zend framework is installed on
the server itself. All InterServer hosting servers have this framework available through the one-click
install feature in the control panel so it won’t be a problem to get up and running fast. To actually start
coding using this framework it is going to take some time. Most developers find that the initial learning
curve is a bit harder than with other frameworks, but the effort is worth it if you’re going to be using it
for a long time.

Features

Zend allows developers to take advantage of a wide range of professionally made PHP packages to help
make developing websites and apps much easier. It does support AJAX, but only through JSON. This
helps to expand the functionality of the framework in a way that users will appreciate. There is also a
built in search function, syndication options, web services, and full object-oriented PHP class 5 library.

Cost of Running

You can use this system for free to try it out, but if you want to use it long term you will have to buy a
license. The specific costs will vary depending on what type of things you need to use it for. There are
also Zend certifications that many people need to get in order to get professional jobs working on this
framework. These certifications can cost hundreds of dollars between the training and actual exam.
Finally, if you’re running a web based site or app, you’ll need web hosting. This hosting is required
whether you’re using a framework or not, however, so that isn’t an additional expense. All hosting
servers from InterServer can run the Zend framework, which is installed using a one-click install script.

Other Programs like it

Zend is an excellent framework for many different projects. If it doesn’t meet your specific needs,
however, you can choose from quite a few other frameworks. Each of the following frameworks can be
installed on any InterServer hosting server with just one click:

Final Thoughts

If you’re going to use a framework for HTML/CSS projects, this is almost certainly the one you will want
Zend is one of the most popular and powerful PHP frameworks on the market today. It is primarily sued
for corporate purposes, thought it can be helpful when developing personal projects as well. If you want
to give this framework a try, make sure you are willing to take the time to really get a good feel for it as
it does take some time and experience before you get used to it.
